The Settlement Os the New Hebrides
Question.

Special Cable Dispatch TO The EVENING SrAR
LONDON, October 25.-The settlement OF the
New Hebrides question is not regarded here as
altogether satisfactory. I have reason TO believe
these are concessions to France which may very
well lead to fresh difficulties. There is a dispo-
sition on the part OF the French press with regard
10 the SueZ Canal convention, TO suggest the
neutrality OF the canal and this means IN the near
future the neutrality OF Egypt, with a consequent
withdrawal OF British influence. This is not
pleasing TO Englishmen, as the two questions are
quite separate. The noise about the canal agree
ment Is somewhat absurd considering that the
matter has been settled for months even years
past However, IL marks another step in Salisbury 8
